After a very busy weekend It's safe to say getting up yesterday morning was quite the struggle. This is what I wore out on Saturday, I had my family in London all weekend as my brother was doing the London Marathon (hero). Saturday and Sunday were mainly spent eating, drinking and a whole lot of walking.

This denim jacket is from Warehouse and It's my most worn item at the moment. On the website It's described as a denim jacket dress; this is one versatile piece that is perfect for the current weather. My Stan Smith's are definitely my 'go to' footwear option of choice if I know there's going to be lots of walking, they are really comfy and go with every outfit. As always I'm wearing my Topshop trench coat and I'm also wearing a new top from Topshop which I got a few weeks back - I got a lot of wear out of this while on holiday as it's really easy to dress up or down, it's a flattering shape and it helps accentuate a tan.

This week I'm going to do something I wouldn't normally, I'm plugging my instagram and twitter accounts... TWITTERINSTAGRAMCome on over and say hello, I'm determined to become more pro active on all social media sites and getting you guys over there is the first step! x

But first, here's a few snaps of an outfit I wore on Friday. The highstreet is scattered with the button front skirts at the moment whether they're denim, suede or cotton every store has them. I picked this denim skirt up from Topshop last week and have been loving it since. It's a nice easy way to make an outfit more summery but also the buttons add a bit of interest so you can get away with wearing a really simple top. I got this blouse from Warehouse a while ago (I think it went into the sale) I was drawn in by the ruffle detailing, I love simple features like this which add a girly touch. As the weather has been amazing the past week I've been wearing this jacket as a spring alternative to my winter fur coats - as seen in my previous post also! Again I'm wearing my current favourite Zara flats and this bag was from Marks and Spencers about 4 years ago!

This may be a fashion blog but my second favourite thing to waste my money on is beauty/haircare/skincare... SpaceNK receives more of my monthly earnings than my savings account, but I'm okay with this.

Today I thought I'd talk you through my favourite 'go to' haircare products. They are my fail safes, my Sunday night rituals. Sometimes I go through a phase of being risky and trying a new brand but I always find myself going back to the products below. The Shampoo & Conditioner I use are the Aveda Shampure range. I've been using them for over a year and although they're quite expensive I absolutely love them and think they are definitely worth the extra pennies. I might do a more in depth review shortly but today I am talking about the products I use after Shampoo + Conditioning.

1. Sachajuan Hair Repair - I've been using this product for about a year; I picked it up from SpaceNK and it seriously does what it says on the label - it repairs your hair, leaving it feeling fresh, silky and nourished. You can pick your own bottle up from Cult Beauty, SpaceNK and even Net-A-Porter! At £23 I think it is quite reasonable, especially as this bottle has lasted me around 4 months.. so far! For use you simply wash your hair as normal and then comb through, leave for 5-10 minutes before washing off.

2. Philip Kingsley Elasticizer - For a few years this was an absolute blogger favourite but these days the hype seems to have calmed down. However I am not over this product at all - I try and use this at least once a week adding shine and volume to my hair. It also claims to add UV protection which makes it perfect for this time of the year, when the sun has finally shown it's face.

3. Moroccan Oil - You know that feeling when you leave the house convinced you've forgotten something? The other day I found myself walking to the tube really annoyed at myself for forgetting, what I believe to be, my most important beauty step - I forgot the bloomin' Moroccan Oil! This stuff is literally what dreams are made of. I have relatively thick hair and it has seen it's fair share of bleach over the years - this oil gives me silky, smooth, fresh hair and the last but not least it has the most amazing scent!

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and is looking forward to the week ahead. Today's outfit post still has me wishing for summer and also clinging onto the last of my tan (most depressing thing in the world, a fading tan...)

I'm going to start with my favourite part of the outfit, my new slip on flats from Zara, they're real leather and very comfortable however if you're thinking of doing a lot of walking - don't bother as they are an absolute pain in the arse to walk in. Still, I can't help but love them I think they look really effortless and there's something quite scandi chic about them. I got this top from Topshop a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love it, you know when you like something so much you buy it in every colour possible, I may have picked up the white and maybe I'll just double check there aren't any others available ;) I like how the ties on the shoulder make it really delicate and feminine. The jeans are my mom jeans from Warehouse which I got in the sale ages ago but I love this kind of wash for the spring summer months. Finally, my jacket is a lightweight duster coat from H&M; again it's very old but I got it from the trend section so there may be a few hanging about on eBay.

I'm making it my mission to sort through my wardrobe this week in my search of a 'less is more' capsule wardrobe, lots of simple basics to see me through the summer. I'll let you know how I get on but if you have any tips, let me know (I am the ultimate hoarder).

I remember when I first started this blog a few years ago every Monday I'd post some sort of motivational image or quote, so for old times sake and on this beautiful sunny Monday morning here's today's message...

After the most relaxing week in Morocco followed by a chocolate fuelled Easter weekend I am back with a new outfit post. It's been a while but I'm hoping now the mornings are lighter there will be more time to take outfit pictures, yes I actually took these at 7.20am this morning, can you believe it. Summer is officially on it's way!!

Quite a simple outfit with a few keys pieces, I'm making the most of having a bit of a tan by wearing this sleeveless Warehouse knitted sleeveless split side top - perfect for this time of year as It's knitted so still keeps you warm but not completely covered up. I picked these shoes up over a month ago from Office but have only just got round to wearing them; I've lived in my chelsea boots and trainers all Winter so this was the first time I've worn ballet style flats for a long time. I'm loving this style that is heavily influenced by the Aquazzura Christy Lace Up Flats and the Aquazzura Belgravia Flats (at just a fraction of the price). There are so many copies of this style around at the moment, I know New Look also have a very similar pair and Boden have them in an array of colours which are really nice. Unfortunately it looks like these Office pair are sold out of the website at the moment, but get yourself into store and grab a pair! Finally I'm wearing my trusty Leigh jeans and my Topshop trench coat.

Hope you're all having a lovely week - I'm hoping to get a beauty post up by the end of the week, or maybe even another outfit so keep checking back! x
